Naseem Hamed is living up to his regal moniker by becoming the Queen’s next-door neighbor.

The former world featherweight champion is settling into life outside of the ring.

And the previous 9th king, who was born in Sheffield, leases a £1.4 million townhouse with views of Windsor Castle.

On a shopping trip and while strolling his dog near his Berkshire home, Naz seemed lost in thought.

“He used to be known for his killing punch and theatrics,” one witness observed, “but now hardly anyone recognizes him.”

However, it’s nice to see Prince Naseem residing in the company of proper nobility.”

Naz, 48, retired with a record of 36 victories and one loss at the age of 28.

Only Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera, who won a unanimous points decision in Las Vegas in 2001, was able to defeat him.

Naz, a father of three, was widely regarded as the actual champion, holding three of the four main world belts.

He bounced back from the Barrera defeat with a lacklustre win over Manuel Calvo in his final bout in 2002 for the lower IBO version.
